A true fairytale retreat come to life, this 3BR/2BA plus office (~2,640 SF) rests on five wooded acres just minutes from The Villages. Multiple meandering trails wind through the trees to a round gazebo with swing and a cozy fire-pit patio, while a wide covered front porch (perfect for rocking chairs or a porch swing) sets the laid-back tone. Inside, a dramatic vaulted great room centers on a wood-burning stone fireplace and custom built-in bookshelves, complemented by a second ambience fireplace for added warmth and glow. The kitchen pairs handsome countertops with custom cabinetry and abundant storage, all bathed in natural light from a breathtaking picture window. Broad, uninterrupted counter runs let you stage appetizers, prep main courses, and still have space for dessert—no back-and-forth shuffle. It’s a true host’s hub that has handled joyful gatherings for years. Wood floors flow throughout most of the home, and the dedicated office easily flexes as a guest room or creative studio. French doors open to an oversized screened back porch with an adjoining outdoor patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Multiple outbuildings and sheds expand your options, each with electric and several with water and A/C, including one building with a small kitchenette and bath—ideal as a workshop, studio, or private office (not included in living SF). Practical perks include a two-car carport, gutters, concrete foundation, wood frame and siding. Minutes from dining, shopping, nightly entertainment, golf, and healthcare in The Villages (including the newest Village city center of “Eastport”), with easy access to US-301, I-75, and the Turnpike. Loved by all who visited and the backdrop to many joyful celebrations—think towering Christmas trees and legendary 3,000-plus-egg Easter hunts—this rare private woodland haven was made for both solitude and entertaining.
